Stu_B Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 Mick rogers is/was ( ) running 11"x15"'s on the back & 6"x15"'s on the front with 325/50's (rear) & 195/50's (front). These are huuuge on the back & the car is tubbed... you'd get away with 8" or 9"s on the back & 225 wides Edit* Found these... ideal for you if you wanna run steels http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PAIR-OF-15-BANDED ... 0453685414
mk3cokebottle Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 i had 9's on the back and 6's on the cokebottle i had and it looked the nuts , but if your the kinda girl that likes to get arsey in your car then having wide wheels on a mk3 wont work with the sideways thing , it was far to grippy for it you could fill the archs and get the stance buy lowering the front a little and getting some banded steels for the arse end with oversized tyres
Nikki Nix Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Posted August 22, 2009 Did you have 9 inch rims on the back or 9 inch tyre?? if it was the rims what size tyre did you have?? or if it was tyre what size were the rims? lol i tried a 9inch slick in the 'hole' and it looks like it'll fit??? so im thinking a 9 by 15 inch tyre will fit on?? confuuuuzed!! Thanks xx

Thanks xx wheels mate but the only prob is they do rub a little on the rear arch's only on the top lip but i got round it with a good hammering session and soon got rid of it , if you want to have it done properley i would suggest getting the lips rolled on the archs before fitting big wheels and tyres
caprinerd Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 if your going rat look then a big hammer and house brick will flatten it ok
Nikki Nix Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Posted August 23, 2009 we are flattening the lips on the arches for the tyres... so i'm hoping 9' tyres will be fine, only trouble is i have looked all over the internet and i cant seam to find 9 inch tyres that are 13 and umm 235 or 225?? that must make sense to you lot more that it does me! it seams they dont seam to make that size anymore do any of u guys know where to find tyres like that?? and the list of 'bits' i need is just getting bigger, i'll post a pic of the front wings, they're worse than we thought so it's looking like i need two front wings now too!! bummer!! ALSO i need to find a steering rack thingie out of a mk5 cortina, or anything that will fit, cuz i cant park the bloody thing so power steering is looking imminent!! hahaha!! what a girl! ummm... on the plus side i learned how to weld yeaterday!! i only blew a few holes throught the metal... thank fooook it wernt on the car at the time! fun fun fun!!! xx
Nikki Nix Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Posted August 23, 2009 rather than putting pics up on here (its gettin a bit long hahaha!!) i have started a project page for it it's under mk3cortina, nikkis first car go check it out...

Stu_B Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 I run 235/50/13's on the back of mine. They are hard to find but not impossible, Kumho do some roadlegal semi slicks
